Shell Island Cruises Kayak Rentals
I had a great time relaxing on the catamaran and watching for dolphins. Also, paddle boarding and snorkeling were fun. Great staff! We saw quite a number of dolphins and stingrays. It was fun, even though there were not many fish to snorkel with.
It is possible to snorkel at the St. Andrews State Park Pier, or out on Shell Island. You will find habitats from the sandy bottom to the shallow grass flats to rocky faces of jetties. The habitats include tropical fish, crabs, rays, sea turtles, and, if lucky, bottle nose dolphins. Snorkel gear can be rented at the Jetty Store. Or you can get it as part a package with Shuttle tickets on a Shell Island Snorkel Tour.
There are many things to do in Panama City Beach Florida. But there is one thing that you should not miss. Shell Island is at the southern end of the long stretch resort hotels and condominiums that line Panama City Beach's white sands, and it's located directly across from St. Andrews State Park. This island offers a stunning slice of Florida coast for outdoor adventurers and beach lovers.
The Shell Island Cruises are the best way to experience Panama City Beach.

Shell Island, an undeveloped barrier island off Florida’s Emerald Coast, is called "Seaside Island". It measures 7 miles east to west. It is composed of graceful sand dunes as well as pine hammocks and shrub forest. Shorebirds and deer can call this inland lake home. Shell Island is protected by the shore, which means that many species of coastal wildlife and endangered species have made their home there.
Shell Island is seven miles of undeveloped scenery between the Gulf and St. Andrew Bay. At one point, Shell Island was inhabited by Native Americans, Spanish Settlers, and even pirates.
Once you get there it is all worth it, as it is the most beautiful water I've ever seen. It is like you are swimming in a pool. It is so crystal clear. We didn't know what to expect so we went planning to spend a few hours on the island. Come expecting to spend all day!
The waters around Shell Island are home to a large group of bottlenose dolphins. You can encounter these amazing marine mammals at home in their natural habitat on one of our Panama City Beach Dolphin Tours.
This island is not as secluded as you see on the pictures and we couldn't find any of the cool shells either. (I understand that it's nature and can't be controlled).
